The post office is extremely busy at this time of year with millions of people shopping for Cyber Monday deals. So, presumably employees at the main Manhattan branch won't notice the double catastrophe on this sign in their cafeteria.

Edward, who sent in this catastrophe, notes that the sign will certainly be torn down as the post office is converted to Moynihan Train Station.

My softball team won our game last night, so we moved on to the next round of the playoffs. When we got to field #2, we found these guys cheering us on.

Gary's Army had lost to the Red Squirrels, so the army stuck around to drink and root for us to beat the Red Squirrels. Their team is named after one dude name Gary, but somewhere along the line, the newer versions of their shirts were printed without an apostrophe. "I think you would have won if your shirts were properly punctuated," I told them.

Standing on first base after hitting a single, one of the guys yelled, "Yeah! Do it for the apostrophes!"

Thanks for the good wishes and for letting me take your photo. It's good to have fans.
